Hey kids, do you like Cyperpunk? You like leather coats and techno-futuristic dystopias? How about nifty gadgets rendered in kludgy props that are clearly repurposed electronics? We’ve got a movie for you then. No, it’s not Blade Runner. Either or. Instead we have Strange Days(1995).
It’s set in the far off future of 1999 at the turn of the millennium. Imagine, living long enough to see a whole new millennium. Our protagonists is Ralph Fiennes. Lord Red Dragonmort deals in memories. Somehow he gets mixed up in a conspiracy where a local activist has been killed and the guilty cops were witnessed by someone recording their memories.

Bad kipper is my reckoning. I’m going back to my bunk and we should arrive within the Orient on the morrow.
